The Purpose is You – Original Poem

I love you
Every part of you

Each place I visit, I see the laughter, the tears, the heartbreak
On this bench I sit
I see a magical journey of memories played in sequence on this grassy stage

You thought I was searching for an ideal; a perfect mold of love, both spiritual and physical
It was a manifestation of a child’s dream and a romantic storyline
It clashed with a harsh reality

I held those ideals close

Love is everything
Over and over I repeat those words

We are born to love one another
Fate, signs all pulling us closer like gravity

Compassion for one another is the center of existence
The birth; the foundation; the purpose

It is the beliefs we hold so dear; the truths evident only from the heart; the actions that take us from imagination a world of possibility

You are that dream, written by a young boy
Now grown up, seeing a world before him and knowing his path

I need to be with you
Right now
If not now, I don’t know when
